Interviewer: What was the reason for leaving the company? Some answers are rotten in the stomach, don't say

thumbnail

Most of the people in the workplace have experienced job-hopping and countless interviews, and they will also encounter various interview questions. One of the questions that is often asked by HR is "Why did you leave the last company? what?"

There are many reasons for HR to ask this question. Some are purely out of curiosity, and some are to indirectly understand your views on the previous company, so as to understand the company from the side, as well as your personality, attitude towards life and so on.

It seems that it is a simple question that everyone can answer, but if the answer to this question is not careful, it is easy to step on the pit, leaving a bad impression on HR, resulting in failure to pass the interview. The following four types of answers are reasons for leaving that HR cannot agree with. When we encounter this problem, we must learn to flexibly bypass these answers.

  1. High work pressure, frequent overtime, frequent business trips =================================================================

In reality, some companies do have a lot of work pressure, often 996, or even 997, and overtime pay can't keep up. After a long time, there will be a natural loss of employees. There are also companies like salespersons, salespersons and other jobs that often have to travel for business trips, which will conflict with taking care of the family, so it is normal to choose to change jobs.

You should pay special attention to this question during the interview. If you are interviewing for the same position, but in a different company, then the same position still needs to work overtime, travel on business, and face the same work pressure. At this time, our answer cannot be said because the previous A company has a lot of work pressure, frequent overtime, and frequent business trips, so I resigned when I couldn't stand it.

If you say this, HR will definitely think that the same position in our company also requires overtime and business trips. Which job is less stressful? If I recruit you, will you leave after working for a period of time because of the same theory? That’s fine.

If you change from a position that requires overtime and business trips to a position like administrative work that everyone knows does not require frequent business trips, then you can say that there are too many business trips between companies, which is not conducive to taking care of your family, so you want to change to administrative work. Work that often requires travel.

HR can accept such a change, but at the same time, you should emphasize that even so, you can accept the company's temporary overtime and business trip arrangements, and HR will feel very comfortable listening to it.

Second, the relationship between leaders and colleagues is difficult to get along

In the workplace, the leaders and colleagues of each company are gathered together for work reasons, so we cannot use the requirement of making friends to measure the relationship between colleagues. Therefore, it is normal to encounter leaders and colleagues with various personalities and temperaments that do not match their own. Sometimes difficult co-worker relationships are indeed the reason some people leave.

But in the interview, it is best not to say this reason. Because every company may have colleagues who are not easy to get along with, HR can't guarantee that every colleague in their company will get along well with you. Are you going to quit now?

On the other hand, if you don’t get along well with leaders and colleagues, HR will also doubt your interpersonal and communication skills, and under the same conditions, your competitors will naturally be given priority.

  1. I have the ability, but I failed to play in the previous company ===================================================================

Some people always feel that they are Maxima, no one sees their talents in the company, and they can't meet their own Bole, so they choose to change jobs. From the perspective of the candidates themselves, this is no problem, because each of us hopes to meet leaders who can appreciate us, so as to achieve step by step in the workplace.

But during the interview, this topic is best avoided, because from the HR point of view, there will be another understanding of your reason. It's gold that should shine everywhere. Since you are so capable, why couldn't you be recognized in the last company? Then whether your ability is really as good as you said may be a question mark in HR's mind, and the credibility of your ability description will be greatly reduced.

  1. Complaining that the boss (leader) is too bad ================================================

To be honest, I have also encountered very bad bosses (leaders), and the company obviously does not have much development prospects. But during the interview, even if you have any complaints against the former boss (leader), you will be bored in your stomach, don't say it.

Talking bad about people behind their backs is a big no-no in the workplace, especially in formal occasions like interviews. If you keep speaking ill of your former boss (leader), HR will naturally doubt your character, and you are someone who likes to complain behind your back. And no HR can guarantee that you will work in the company for the rest of your life. Will you complain about the current company after you leave?

Therefore, for seemingly simple interview questions, you should also pay attention to some small details in the answer behind it. The suggested answer to this question is:

  1. A family accident should not be done =======================================

This kind of answer is similar to someone in the family getting sick or suddenly getting sick and having to resign for a period of time. It emphasizes that the incident happened suddenly, and the resignation was not caused by your subjective factors, and HR can understand it.

The commute time is too long

The commute time is too long, and it takes several hours to commute to get off work every day, which is really a waste of time. Under the same conditions, everyone is naturally willing to choose a company relatively close to their home, so this reason can also convince HR. And the company you choose to apply for is close to your home, you are naturally more guaranteed to be able to work in the company safely, so there is one more reason for HR to choose you.

  1. The former company has limited room for improvement ======================================================

It is best to answer this reason in combination with your own career planning, the size of the company you are applying for, and the development prospects. The focus should be on praising the company you are applying for, proving that it can provide you with a better space and stage for development, and use your previous experience. Performance strength proves to HR that after you enter the company, you will definitely be able to create value for the company.

In the workplace, sometimes a little skill may add points to your interview, and use it flexibly in combination with the actual situation. In fact, there are some reasons and reasons that everyone knows well, but don't put it on the table, otherwise it will be a reason for others to eliminate you.
